Choosing a 19th Birthday Gift

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Ask the birthday boy or girl what they want. Ratson says, “You have to try to see what the other person values and to try to provide it to them.” The best way to do that is just to ask the birthday boy or girl what they want or like. If you don’t want to give away the surprise, strike up a conversation about your favorite things and ask them about theirs.
    • If you don’t want to ask them directly, check out their social media accounts to get clues.
    • For example, they might talk about their favorite restaurant, and you could get them a gift card or take them out to dinner there.
    • If they post about their favorite band, you could get them tickets to a concert.
  2. 2
    Keep your gift a surprise by asking around for ideas. It’s not cheating to ask someone close to the birthday boy or girl for gift ideas. Ratson says that the point of a gift is to make the person feel special on their birthday. Giving them a great gift out of the blue is a great way to surprise and delight them.
    • The effort you put into finding out what they like and making or choosing a gift is what truly counts.
    • Ratson adds, “It's all about making them feel appreciated, unique, different, and that you really thought about them.”
